500–600g mixed leafy greens, such as a mix of spinach, chard (red or green), kale, dandelion or similar, torn into rough pieces

200g broccoli, roughly chopped

50g capers, rinsed

100g pitted green olives, roughly chopped

juice of ½ lemon, to taste

30g finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Tip

If you prefer, you can cook the pork (covered) in the oven instead of simmering on the hob. Cook for the same length of time at 180C/Gas 4.

Preparation

Remove the skin from the pork belly and cut the meat into four equal pieces; season each with salt. Heat a little olive oil in a large,

heavy-based saucepan. Add the pork and cook over a high heat until browned on each side. Transfer to a plate

Add the onion, leek, fennel, garlic and anchovies to the pan and cook over a medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until the onion and leeks are tender. Return the pork to the pan, add the wine and heat until reduced by half

Add the chicken stock (this should be about 2cm short of covering the pork) then bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 1½ hours

Add the greens, broccoli, capers and olives and stir to combine the leaves with the cooking liquor. Cover and simmer for a further 30 minutes, by which time the pork should be tender and the greens and broccoli wilted. If necessary, continue to cook the pork, covered, until the meat is tender (the time taken will depend on the thickness of the belly); if you want to serve the pork with butter beans or black-eyed peas, add them now. Remove the pork and leave it to rest in a warm place

Add the lemon juice and season the greens to taste. Stir in the parsley and serve in deep bowls.
